body and clothing Of the deceased.
The first eye witness was Mr.. W. A.

State, and had taken the General
completely by surprise in his testi-

repeated time and again that he was

was shot, and that no pistol, knife, or

RIsMAROK RLUsrRRING.

Bismarck is preparing future trou-
BILE for Germany. Among all intelli-
gent communities there is an onward
current toward freedom and indi-
vidual independence. This current
is loosing the bonds that have so long
aubjecte nations to monarchs and
mobiles. The German people are in
telligent and the advancing ideas OF
the age have not failed to affect them,
As long as the present Kaiser and
Bismarck survive, gratitude toward
men co prominent In securing unity
to Germany prompts to permit to
them what would not be submitted to
In others. But Bismarck Is pushing
this feeling toward its limit, and de.
msndipg q revival of monarchical
authority just when monarchy, as an
insiitution, Is losing Its influence and
waning toward extinction. At the
sitting Of the Pfussian Chamber OF
Deputies on Monday last Bismarck
broke into the debate and
became violent in his Language
toward the opponents of his
plans. He called those who were
against his army bill, Pilates, Herod ),
and enemies OF the Empire. He
showed nigh degree OF excitement,
but many thought tina. was assumed,

egain Bismarck was on his feet. The.
government, he declared, required
that the army supplies must be voted
for seven years In advance, and would
pot accept the thrse years that had
bsen voted. The Berlin correspondent
to the New York Herald writes: "The
Chancellor grew more and more like
Stafford as he went on. He hectored

A BIG FIRE ON PIER NO. .
IN THE NORTH RIVER DESTROYS
$4,000
worth of PrOperty-The Steamer
Louisiana Makes a Marrow
Escape.

New YORK, January ga fire
broke out this afternoon in the Crom-
well pier, No. 8, North river, and in
less than an hour the whole structure
and lis contents were destroyed. The
steamers OF this liue ply between New
York and New Orleans. When the
engines 81 nmonsd by the three
alarms of fra got TO The scene the
whole pier YVES one mass OF flames.
The fire was first seen in stack Of cot
ton bales 10 the center of the dock, end
the rspidity with which the flames
spread barely gave the deck har DIS time
to escape. Horses attac ed TO trucks
were on the dock at the lime and it
was supposed that sons of them had
been burned. Alongside The pier lay
the steamer Louisiana, which was
ready to sail, and on her decks were
passengers waving their adieus to
. their friends on shore. On the other
8 de of the dock was the steamer New
0ileans. Both vessels wers towed out
to midstream. The passengers on
the Louisiana were taken off by
police officers on the dork
who were protecting the non-union
workmen. The vessels upper joiner
works were in flames while the pas
sengers were being passed down the
side. The Louisiana was being towed
out into the sream and the flames ex-
tinguished. She will be ready to sail
as soon as repairs are completed.
I There we're 1000 bales of cotton for
Liverpool piled upon the dock, be-
sides quaint ~ of other freight ready
for shipment. Many bales of cotton and
barrels of sugar were rolled off the dock
before tie fire reached them. Iu
short time it was seen that the pier
could not be saved, and a poltion of
the fire department lent their efforts
to save the adjoining piers. The Long
Branch pier caught fire several times,
owing to the flames being carried that
way by the wind. Pier 10, on the
north side, escaped with scorch-
ing to its paint, and so did
the house on West street, oppo-
site the dock. About twenty streams
of water were playing on the fire ten,
minutes after it broke out from en-.
gines and fireboats on the river. It
was reported that the fire was started
by strikers, but the police deny this.
The police estimate the damage at
about $4,000, fully insured. The
cause OF the fire is not Known.

AS the attention OF the whole civil.
ICED world is turned toward the South,
from this time forward there will be q
constant stream Of foreign immigration
pouring into the Southern States.
During the month ending September
so, 1885, l05,702 emigrants arrived in
this country, 100000 Of whom were
bora in Europe. The unrest that per-
vades Europe will increase immigra-
ton during the present year, and the
South may expect large proportion,
&c there Is nowhere else for the
foreigner - 60 unless he seeks the
bleak and inhospitsble States and Ter
ritories OF the far West. II was emf
grafton that built up the now prosper
ous States OF the West, and emigra-
ton is needed to build up the South.
Every foreigner that settles in the
South brings with him more or less
capital; he certainly brings with him
musele, skilled labor, industry and
enterprise, all OF which is 30 much
added 10 the wealth Of the South.
The bigoted, contracted, narrow
minded native Americans, who when
born narrowly escaped the infamy OF

grafton. But no nation can pros
per unless new blood is constantly
Infused into its life by immigration.
Assyris, Egypt and Greece rotted and
decayed because OF no incoming peo-
ples. The Chinese constitute the most
cot mphble and Insignificant race on
the face Of the globe, because new
blood wss never Infused into the racs
by i'm migration. Only here In Amer

immense American life is as yet forma-
tive, not fixed or flushed. II the men
